How it Works

Imagine having your favorite artist personally advise you on your project. I'ts hard to find incredible artists, let alone get any help from them. What if we told you that you could easily reach out to award-winning, chart-topping artists at a fraction of the cost of typical lessons?

Whether you have a looming audition, want to improve your technique, need advice on a track, or simply seek guidance on making it big in the industry, PIVODIO's slate of top industry experts can provide the knowledge you need.

Why bite-sized mini-coaching?

One of the most effective ways to become a master in your field is to pair your hard work with the guidance of expert coaching. This proven method can save you money and time while producing better outcomes. We highly recommend the book by Anders Ericsson - Peak: how to Master Almost Anything.

Purposeful Practice + Expert Coaching = Perfect formula for mastery

Have questions?

PIVODIO stands for PIVOT + Audio and is designed to help musicians master their craft and take their aspirations to the next level. PIVODIO exists for two reasons:
1. To provide the most practical coaching to every artist around the world
2. To make a 6 figure income an industry standard for musical artists

Not exactly. PIVODIO can teach certain hard skills but is designed to help you with specific areas of your craft from industry professionals in a bite-sized, mini-coaching style.
We designed PIVODIO to be asynchronous in that users can upload up to 5mins of video or audio content and get actionable advice from industry professionals. Your pro will message you back with a video or written response to your specific question within 24 to 48 hours.

Right now our experts are carefully curated based on their career experience. We plan to open the platform up so you can apply but for now you can contact our CEO for consideration at jme@pivodio.com

You do. Whatever advice you get on your work our experts waive their rights to your work so you are the sole owner of what you create as a result of their guidance or contribution. You are free to give credit or arrange to share proceeds but that is entirely between you and the expert.
Use directly by pressing record button, or upload, make sure facing the camera showing you playing.
Currently we accept .mov and .mp4 files that are under 5 minutes long. Alternatively a YouTube/Vimeo URL will work also.
Currently we accept .mp3 files that are under 5 minutes long.

Yes. Please email staff@pivodio.com to explain the issue and we will make the appropriate accommodations

Please contact us at hello@pivodio.com and we will reach out to your expert for a reply. If the Expert fails to respond you will be issued a full refund.

All prices are listed in USD. If you are purchasing internationally (outside of the US) PayPal and Stripe should do the conversion for you at checkout.

Contact staff@pivodio.com and we will delete it for you.
